Artist Bio
Sherry Crawford has been enjoying the process of “Creating” since childhood. The gravel pit next door, forest behind her home and beach provided opportunities to create drawings with sticks and sand castles. The gravel pit was perfect for creating life sized human shapes and images. She remembers how she enjoyed making sculptures of mermaids in the huge ‘sand’ canvas. The forest provided the opportunity to create ‘fun spaces’ for forts. She used skipping ropes tied between trees for walls, and what home would be complete without the serving of beautifully created mud pies, complete with flower decorations and style! This is how you create when you do not have art supplies or even know what an artist is. Looking back, she will tell you the desire to Create has always been a big part of her life, including gathering materials and making Crafts such as ‘pinecone wreaths.
She started to pursue a Career in ART seriously in 2010 after meeting an amazing Artist/Museum Curator-Owner/Auctioneer/Gallery Owner. Sherry was ‘taken under this beautiful lady’s wings’ and the result is what we see today!
Sherry has evolved into her ‘style’ of creating pieces that share images of her Algonquin Culture, often incorporating hidden gems that pop out at just the right time! She loves to paint and draw, often surprised herself by the stories and images that seem to appear to ‘paint’ themselves. She has worked with many mediums, including the Procreate program on her IPAD and has created dozens of images, landscapes and abstract pieces. She hopes to continue to evolve and has decided to never hold back on trying new projects or Artistic endeavors.
